UK tech post-Brexit: investment, influence and policy priorities
Tuesday, 27th June 2017
THIS EVENT IS CPD CERTIFIED
Guest of Honour
Julian David, Chief Executive Officer, tech UK
At a time of considerable uncertainty following the EU
referendum, this seminar will be a timely opportunity to discuss the next steps
for ensuring Britain’s technology sectors continue to flourish.
Delegates will assess the key challenges facing the UK post-Brexit including a
lack of confidence as negotiations continue, the application of EU regulation
going forward for data, IoT and cyber security as well as examining the tax
framework to ensure Britain continues to be competitive and attractive to
global corporation and SMEs alike.
Following the launch of the UK industrial strategy and a commitment to a
‘Global Britain’, delegates will discuss the key opportunities and priorities
for the tech sector including attracting - both domestic and foreign -
investment, ensuring access to workers with the necessary skills, increasing
exports and the developing regulatory framework.
Other areas for discussion will include the UK’s role and influence in the
longer terms for areas such as standardisation and spectrum management; the
balance between access to overseas labour and improving digital skills throughout
education and whether UK infrastructure adequately supports the technology
sector.
